Hugh Jackman Wants Tom Hardy to Be the Next Wolverine

Variety:
With Hugh Jackman’s time as “X-Men” muscle Wolverine nearing its end, questions about who will replace him have become more frequent. Fortunately, Jackman has weighed in on the debate with his choice for who should don the adamantium claws in his stead in an interview with MTV News.

“I haven’t really given it a lot of thought,” Jackman said. “I’ve been asked that question a lot, and I’m always like, ‘I don’t wanna make it too easy on the studio to replace me,’ you know? I’ve still got one more to do. I’m sure they’re already talking about it, and there’s some actor [they’ve told] ‘shh, keep it quiet but we want you next.'”

After a bit of thought on who could play a younger, re-imagined Wolverine, Jackman made his choice.

“He’s younger than me for sure,” Jackman said. “I think Tom Hardy would be a great Wolverine.”

The interview with MTV was back in March so I wasn't going to use an outdated issue but this was just posted about him and I found it interesting that he thought of Tom Hardy.

Max, Bond, Wolverine

Jesus, I like the guy but people want him to be everything

Max who? Max Rockatansky?! He's already that. I haven't heard THAT big of an outcry for Hardy as Bond, in fact everyone is at any point in time rumored for Bond, and Hardy as Wolverine isn't too bad of a choice (at least Jackman changed his mind about Tatum). Hardy is great and would be a great choice but alas I think he's getting a bit old. If we get another Wolverine, I want someone that won't have to be recast in a few years.

If he is cast however, I won't lose any sleep over it. In fact I'd be pretty damn excited!

No different from the internet wanting Nathon Fillion to be everything.

-Foxtrot3128d ago

That's even more annoying

Porcelain_Chicken3128d ago

Ha! I am guilty of that! :D Unlike Hardy (not comparing their acting prowess here) Nathan Fillion is underrated and underused. Giving him a few more roles here and there isn't such a bad thing.

Or everytime the question of a bald character comes up someone says Vin Diesel, as if other actors couldnt shave their heads. Im surprised Vin didnt play Imperator Furiosa.

Stringerbell3129d ago

Well it wouldn't be the first time Hardy's gotten into great shape to play a role. Could be interesting...

Spiewie 3128d ago

Hardy would probably be the best for it. Not as good as jackman though

Tzuno3128d ago

Well no better man than Tom, on that i agree, you peeps should see warrior.
